I guess I'm unclear on the terminology, then. I was under the impression that the fix to spell levels and the low level mobs gating would be fixed at the same time (since they were both labeled "fixed, pending update").

But apparently there are two "types" of updates? Could we get a bit of clarification on what the difference is and how often these things come out?
A full patch includes database, code, and script changes, like what you might see on the homepage. https://www.project1999.com/index.php This involves the servers coming down.

Each month, there are era unlocks. These activate whatever is already coded, and waiting behind that era to unlock. This does not require the servers to come down and be patched.

There are also sometimes quick hotfixes or just code updates that sometimes occur to fix an issue, but also are not full patches.
